Why is non-dairy paneer called analogue paneer, not fake paneer?

Non-dairy paneer is called “analogue paneer” because it is designed to resemble traditional paneer while using non-dairy ingredients, such as vegetable fat or plant-based proteins, instead of milk components, according to FSSAI. Paneer may be described as “fake” when a product is passed off as paneer despite not meeting prescribed standards or containing inedible ingredients.
